It’s been a while since I have seen an Amlogic S912 TV stick, and so far none of them would run Android TV operating system. But CCC Air Stick 4K does, meaning it supports Google Cast like a ChromeCast, as well as Voice Commands through a remote control.

The company also claims support for aptX and aptX HD Bluetooth audio, as well as online services such as Hulu, Netflix, Spotify, and some Japanese specific services, since the TV stick only targets the Japanese market.

The dongle runs Android TV 7.1.2 Nougat, and should be upgrade to Android 8.x Oreo in the future. It ships with a remote control with a microphone for voice commands, a short HDMI male to female adapter, and an interesting power adapter with Ethernet (RJ45), and a USB type A port. The Ethernet port allows the TV stick to be used as a WiFi hotspot for up to 8 devices.

I had never heard about S912J, and web searches all point to the stick discussed in this post, so either it somehow got inserted by mistake, or there’s somehow a special version of Amlogic S912 processor for Japan, or TV sticks.

CCC Air Stick 4K is sold for 9,800 Yen（or 10,584 Yen with VAT), or the equivalent of $88.6 US on shops such as Rakuten or Yahoo Shopping Japan. More details can be found in the product page (in Japanese)

Interesting that it is advertised for Netflix, because it is said that Netflix doesn’t run on S912.
So, is it really the official Netflix app playing 4K, or just some stone old version with only 720p, as usual?

Update : On Tuesday latest firmware arrived via OTA. And included netflix hd , after brief test it is working flawlessly like on Nvidia Shield. The Android version is still 7.1.2 anbd security patch is October. So it can be considered as very good alternative to chromecast / firetv stick. A little upgrade over MiBox.
